Hello World!

A great deal of thought has gone into starting this blog…and then some hesitation, should I, should I not…would I find the time, etc. But on 19th of June this year, which happens to be my mother’s birthday, something in my head & my heart nudged me to take the plunge and when I bounced the idea off my children they unanimously encouraged me to just “go for it”.

So here I am. Have been working on this for the past approximately two months. My elder son Raoul who is a professional photographer admonishes me for not calling him to take the pictures, but with both of us holding full-time corporate jobs, I don’t feel it is practical to do that as I have been taking pictures of my cooking with step-by-step procedures, and cooking according to my convenience which may not be a convenient time for him. My son Rohan, just keeps pushing me to go ahead with fulfilling all my dreams. My daughter Nicole says ‘mama you need to use a better camera’! Well I will, but I find my phone-camera just so convenient… So hope you’ll like the pictures. My two daughters-in-law, Charmaine and Valencia, are encouraging and loving as always. My husband, Rudy has stood by me and supported me in my various ventures and I often end up making him a guinea-pig in my cooking pursuits.

Hope this blog will benefit everyone and I will endeavour to enhance, develop and build it in a meaningful way as I go along.

Cecilia, you are awesome. Sharing your mother’s recipes and even the simplest ones are certainly a help for beginners.
Glad that you started this culinary blog. Wishing you all the best in this endeavour.

Dear Iona,
Thank you for your kind comments. Over 15 years before starting this culinary blog, I comprised my mother’s recipes in a book “Mai;s Recipes” to share her recipes, whcih has been appreciated and is being used by many all over the world. In case you wish to have a copy it’s available at Mangalore stores Malad Orlem market.The blog I started to share my recipes and experiences. Hope you will visit often and benefit from the available content.
Regards,
Cecilia
